5 Responses to “I want your best tuna recipes”

My favorite way to eat tuna is in a green salad. Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, tuna, with just a little ranch dressing on top.

I also like it in a cold pasta salad. Say curly pasta, tuna, some cooked peas, a little low fat mayo, maybe some red onion, and add a little garlic salt. I chill the pasta and peas before making the salad.

1 can of tuna
1 egg
large handful of shredded parmesan or romano cheese (this is what gives it the flavor kick)
2 scallions (green onions) diced
4 crackers, smashed

Mix together, form into patties and fry in a little olive oil.

Mostly I just dump a huge glob of Miracle Whip and a can of tuna in a bowl, mix and eat straight. DH likes to do it with 1000 Island dressing instead of Miracle Whip. This goes well either on sandwiches or stuffed into celery stalks.

Like Lucky Robin, I make something like her patties, but call them tuna cakes. I usually use two cans of tuna, an egg, mayonaise, chopped up celery, a dash of tumeric, and bread crumbs to make patties. I then fry them in a little extra virgin olive oil.

I like the tuna cakes/patties, also. There's a pasta recipe called Pasta Del Sol and the addition of tuna makes it not just delicious but outstanding! You might give that a try and see if it's something you like.

Tuna in a salad instead of chicken...yum! I buy this Asian Sesame dressing made by Panera (found at Target) and it is so delish.

I make a really nerdy tuna casserole with it. I make a yummy concoction with cream cheese and mayo mixed up, mix that with boiled pasta of your choice (the different shapes make it more interesting), a bag of mixed frozen veggies and tuna. Mix until even with a spatula, then cover with shredded cheese of choice and bake for 30-45 minutes. It is creamy goodness. On the fatty side, but so good.
